quest Started: Hunt Or capture

You continue your journey through the dense forest, following tracks and checking scout flies' locations as you go. Suddenly, a loud roar echoes through the trees, revealing the presence of an unknown monster nearby. You quickly prepare your weapons, ready for the hunt!

As you approach the source of the roar, the dense foliage parts to reveal a massive Therizinoid, towering over you with its spiky tail and long, whip-like limbs. Its saurian features are menacing in the dim forest light, but you remain steady, knowing that this is what you've trained for. The beast lets out another ear-splitting cry before charging at you, intent on claiming you as its prey!

As the Therizinoid lunges towards you, you swiftly dodge to the side and retaliate with a well-placed strike of your own! Your attack misses its intended mark, but the beast seems surprised by your agility as it retreats slightly to reassess its strategy. You can feel adrenaline pumping through your veins, knowing that you're in for a tough fight against this nimble predator.

As you charge towards the Therizinoid, its limbs whip out to defend itself. The spiky appendages strike the ground near your feet, throwing up clouds of dirt and forcing you to jump back quickly. The beast snarls in triumph, sensing an opening as it pounces forward once more. You must act fast if you want to turn the tide of this battle!

As the Therizinoid lunges at you again, you manage to dodge out of the way by leaping to one side. The beast lands heavily on its spiked tail and momentarily loses balance, giving you a brief window of opportunity! You take aim with your trusty weapon, preparing for the killing blow...

You unleash a flurry of attacks upon the Therizinoid, relentless in your efforts to put it down for good. The beast's defenses are weakened by surprise and fatigue, and it soon finds itself overwhelmed by your onslaught. With one final blow, you sever its spinal cord, bringing about its final death throes. The mighty Therizinoid falls to the forest floor, its lifeless body a testament to your hunting prowess. You let out a triumphant roar of your own as you claim your hard-won prize.

You return to your camp exhausted but elated, bearing the carcass of the Therizinoid as proof of your victory. The other hunters gather around you, cheering your name and celebrating your triumph over this ferocious beast. You accept their hearty congratulations before presenting the pelt and claws to the Guildmaster, who eagerly examines them and hands over a hefty sum of coin as promised. With this prize in hand, you can now afford new gear or training sessions that will aid you on your future hunts.

The Guildmaster studies the bounty board closely before answering, "Well now, you've proven yourself quite capable today. There are several hunts marked as 'Urgent' that could use someone with your skills. How about tackling one of those?" He points at a few particularly difficult-looking monsters, their tracks and claw marks indicating that they have been causing havoc in the area.

Do you want to choose one of these Urgent hunts?

You choose an urgent hunt marked against the tracks of a massive Fanged Beast. The Guildmaster nods approvingly, "Good choice. You'll find its trail leading southeast into the foothills. Be careful out there; this one's particularly cunning and dangerous." With that, he waves you off to pursue your new prey.

You gear up for the hunt, readying yourself for another intense battle against an elusive monster deep in the wild. The trek to the foothills proves arduous, but eventually, you spot fresh tracks leading off into the distance. You follow them with renewed vigilance, determined not to lose this beast's trail again...

After following several more tracks through dense foliage and rocky terrain, you finally spot the Fanged Beast itself, lurking in a small clearing. The monster is twice your size and covered in sharp fangs and claws. Its yellow eyes meet yours warily as it assesses its options for escape or attack. You can tell this hunt will be no easy task.

Do you approach the Fanged Beast cautiously or try to startle it into making a move?

With a mighty roar, you charge at the Fanged Beast in an attempt to startle it into making a move. The beast is taken aback by your sudden aggression but quickly regains its composure, launching itself towards you with incredible speed and power. Your only choice now is to dodge or defend yourself against this devastating attack!

As the Fanged Beast leaps toward you with incredible force, your instincts kick in and you manage to raise your weapon just in time to block its powerful blow. The impact sends shockwaves through your armor, leaving you momentarily stunned but still standing. However, the beast does not relent; it immediately counterattacks by trying to grab you with its massive claws. You must act quickly if you want to avoid being torn limb from limb!

You manage to narrowly evade the beast's grasp by leaping backwards just as its claws swipe past where your body was a moment ago. The Fanged Beast snarls in frustration, quickly regaining its balance before lashing out again with lightning speed. You can feel adrenaline surging through your veins as you prepare yourself for another close encounter with this formidable foe.

Do you try to dodge or block again?

As you dodge the Fanged Beast's attack, you manage to close the distance between you and it. With a powerful thrust of your weapon, you launch an offensive strike aimed directly at its unarmored underbelly. The beast's attention is focused on you now, but can it withstand this direct assault?

The Fanged Beast's reflexes are unmatched as it easily parries your attack aside with a swipe of its massive claw. In retaliation, it lunges forward once more, aiming to impale you on its sharp fangs! You barely manage to dodge out of the way, but now you're feeling the effects of its incredible speed and power. This hunt is far from over; you must find a way to land a decisive blow before it wears you down!

The Fanged Beast, seeming to sense your exhaustion, presses its advantage relentlessly. Its claws and fangs become blurs as it attacks with unparalleled speed and ferocity, wearing you down bit by bit. Each impact from those massive claws sends shockwaves through your body that make it harder for you to think clearly. You must find a way to turn the tide of this battle soon or risk becoming its next meal!
